Balada de La Adolescencia
María Elena Walsh
Ballad of Adolescence
I give you the mornings
With bells
And with birds that will never die
I give you stars
In the midst of the storm
I give you the first
Spring
Of all the trees in the city
The trembling of the river
And the deep mystery of the sea
It's hard to have
Twenty years and money
But poor and without yesterday
I give you the whole world
I give you eternally
Today's love
I give you an apple
And the desire
To bite it like Eve with Adam
In paradise
Without shadows of freedom
It's hard to have
Twenty years and money
But poor and without yesterday
I give you the whole world
I give you eternally
Today's love
Eternally today's love
